The Kaiserreich of Euruse is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kanzler Volkov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.487 billion Eurusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sonnengrad. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Eurusian economy, worth 265 trillion Thalers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 106,668 Thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, friendly revolutionaries are the nation's greatest export, and one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euruse's national animal is the Black Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Voidism.

Euruse is ranked 298,490^th in the world and 210^th in Fifth Empire for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -254.58 on the Hayek Index.
